Former Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely won the Republican primary in Arizona's coveted 1st Congressional District, while the Democratic race remains too close to call.

Why it matters: It's difficult to imagine either party winning control of the House without this seat.

The big picture: The highly competitive Scottsdale and north Phoenix-based district is up for grabs after longtime Republican U.S. Rep. David Schweikert's decision to run for governor.

Catch up quick: Both national parties took the unusual step of backing candidates in their hotly contested primaries.

  • The Democratic Congressional Committee Committee (DCCC) angered some members by not only endorsing Marlene Galán-Woods but spending money to help her defeat Amish Shah.
  • The National Republican Congressional Committee endorsed Feely, who also has President Trump's backing, over former state Rep. Joseph Chaplik.

Flashback: The Democratic primary is a rematch between the 2024 contest where Shah defeated Galán-Woods, but lost to Schweikert in the general election.

Denver mayor proposes universal child care plan in State of the City address

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston used his third State of the City address Tuesday to unveil a vision that appears to double as a reelection pitch — anchored by promises of universal child care, more affordable housing and a city built for families.
